Question Why did my GPU switch to the integrated Intel graphics?

[sLiller347]

Hello,

My PC started detecting my RX 470 today as integrated Intel graphics after suddenly shutting down one day while I was playing. It is important to note that once the PC shut down, my HDMI port stopped working completely, so I put in VGA and it then started working, however, once I booted it up I noticed my PC didn't detect my GPU, and instead detected the integrated graphics.

Any thoughts? Is my GPU busted?

Welcome to the forums my friend!

Sounds like you've plugged the VGA into the motherboard integrated graphics, the HDMI was connected to your GPU.
You will want to eliminate drivers, HDMI cable, PSU etc. before jumping straight to GPU being broken.

I've never had to answer a question of yours.
Either way, March 2019? Pffft, Old timer. I think you've gotten yourself nice and comfortable already!

Yeah, I know I'm an old timer here. That was just a joke though.

I know, I was equally joking back.
I'm not great at sarcasm!
